Hi, I like to collect action figures (mostly of the mecha and anime variety) and I like taking photos of my figures as well, so this thread is where I'll be sharing photos of my figures I've taken. Both older photos and new ones too (I've been doing this for quite a few years now)
I'm very much not a professional photographer and I use my phone as my camera (and I have a Moto G Stylus 2021, so I'm not rocking an expensive flagship with the best cameras on a phone either) but I still think my photos can sometimes come out pretty decently.
I also like to give information about the figures I take figures of and, while I will provide some information alongside the photographs, if y'all wanna comment to ask me something about a figure (or just give comments about my photography in general), feel free. Comments are always appreciated.
Anyways without further ado, here's a few figure photographs I've taken:
This is the 2023 reissue of the original 1984 Transformers Hound toy, released as part of the current Transformers Retro line of reissues. Unlike previous reissue lines, the figures released in this line are redecoed in colors based off of the character models from the original Transformers cartoon. This is also the first time that the G1 Hound mold has been reissued since the Japan-only 2004 Transformers Collection and the first Hasbro reissue of the mold in general.
This is the Yamato 1/60 scale VF-1A Valkrie from the Super Dimension Fortress Macross/Robotech originally released in Japan in 2002. Found it at a local toy store recently and just had to get it. The pictures depict the figure in all three modes: Fighter, Gerwalk (or Guardian in Robotech), and Battroid (or Battloid in Robotech).
Not much to say here, tried my hand at a bit of forced perspective to make this Dalek appear like it's actually real-size and not just an action figure.
